how to pour glue into doe foot lip gloss container (visual)

all lip gloss container are have a doe foot applicator and the bottle has piece between the cap and the bottle so that when you pull the doe foot stick out, it act like a squeegee so you wont get drips. this is why its such a great tool for glue.

now here is the tricky part, using your fingernail or small tweeter you can find the edge where the squeegee is connected to the container, and slowly nudge up in till you can pull it off. once you get that off you can pour anything in there. after filling make sure you leave 1/4 to 1/8 empty, then push that squeegee piece back into place. then your done.

most important is never fill the bottle to the top, because you need that extra space when you put the doe foot back in. i made that mistake the first time and a bunch of glue squirted in my face

i clean it out with a q.tip or pipe cleaner, its a bit tricky. i guess its just easy just to buy it empty. it more for making the pouring purpose easy even with a piplite

Estimate Shipping & Tax 4$. clear lipgloss at dollar store cheaper, but got to put some elbow grease into it. what ever works for you. someone asked on another thread so i decided to make a visual.

I agree that the time and effort (not to discount waste) required to tranform a lip gloss into a safe container for glue makes buying empties much more cost effective. If you lump your purchase with other items, the shipping cost becomes more reasonable.

i agree suzy. this is much easier then refilling, but useful thing to know for last min fix.

I would've never thought about prying up the little squeegee thing though....and never would have gotten my glue in the bottle lol.

So glad you posted this how to!
